Driving
• When the vehicle is lifted up using  an aftermarket lift kit
• When the vehicle is lifted up more 
than 4 in. (101 mm)
●In addition to the  above, in some 
situations, such as the following, 
the emergency steering assist 
may not operate.
• When the white (yellow) lane lines  are difficult to see, such as when 
they are faint, di verging/merging, 
or a shadow is cast upon them
• When the lane is wider or nar- rower than normal
• When there is a light and dark pat- tern on the road surface, such as 
due to road repairs
• When a pedestrian is detected  near the centerline of the vehicle
• When the target is too close
• When there is insufficient safe or 
unobstructed space for the vehicle 
to be steered into
• If oncoming vehicle is present
• If VSC function is operating
●In some situations such as the fol-
lowing, sufficient braking force or 
steering force may not be 
obtained, preventing the system 
from performing properly:
• If the braking functions cannot 
operate to their full extent, such as 
when the brake parts are 
extremely cold, extremely hot, or 
wet
• If the vehicle is not properly main- tained (brakes or tires are exces-
sively worn, improper tire inflation 
pressure, etc.)
• When the vehicle is being driven  on a gravel road or other slippery 
surface
• When the road surface has deep  wheel tracks • When driving 
on a hill road
• When driving on a road that has  inclines to the  left or right
• When your vehicles is towing a  trailer or ano ther vehicle
• When your vehic le is lifted up
■If VSC is disabled
●If VSC is disabled ( P.376), the 
pre-collision brak e assist and pre-
collision braking functions are also 
disabled.
●The PCS warning light will turn on 
and “VSC Turned OFF Pre-Colli-
sion Brake System Unavailable” 
will be displayed on the multi-
information display.

Driving
WARNING
●Vehicle is driven on a road sur-
face which is slippery due to 
rainy weather, fallen snow, 
freezing, etc.
●Vehicle is driven on a snow-cov-
ered road.
●White (yellow) lines are difficult 
to see due to rain, snow, fog, 
dust, etc.
●Vehicle is driven in a temporary 
lane or restricted lane due to 
construction work.
●Vehicle is driven in a construc-
tion zone.
●A spare tire, tire chains, etc., 
are equipped.
●When the tires have been 
excessively worn, or when the 
tire inflation pressure is low.
●When your vehicles is towing a 
trailer or another vehicle, except 
when the following condition is 
met.
• When the other vehicle is a  trailer properly attached and 
connected to Toyota’s official 
TBC ECU. ( P.181)
●When the vehicle is lifted up, 
except in the following cases.
• When using a Toyota official lift  kit up to 4 in. (101 mm), includ-
ing tire height. Aftermarket lift 
kits may degrade system perfor-
mance.
■Preventing LTA system mal-
functions and operations per-
formed by mistake
●Do not modify the headlights or 
place stickers, etc., on the sur-
face of the lights.
●Do not modify the suspension, 
etc. If the suspension, etc., 
needs to be replaced, contact 
your Toyota dealer.
●Do not install or place anything 
on the hood or grille. Also, do 
not install a gr ille guard (bull 
bars, kangaroo bar, etc.).
●If your windshield needs 
repairs, contact your Toyota 
dealer.
■Conditions in which functions 
may not operate properly
In the following  situations, the 
functions may not operate prop-
erly and the vehicle may depart 
from its lane. Drive safely by 
always paying careful attention to 
your surroundings and operate 
the steering wheel to correct the 
path of the vehicle without relying 
solely on the functions.
●When the follow-up cruising dis-
play is displayed ( P.248) and 
the preceding vehicle changes 
lanes. (Your vehicle may follow 
the preceding vehicle and also 
change lanes.)
●When the follow-up cruising dis-
play is displayed ( P.248) and 
the preceding vehicle is sway-
ing. (Your vehicle may sway 
accordingly and depart from the 
lane.)

WARNING
■Replacing tires
Make sure that all tires are of the 
specified size, brand, tread pat-
tern and total load capacity. In 
addition, make sure that the tires 
are inflated to the recommended 
tire inflation pressure level.
The ABS, TRAC, Trailer Sway 
Control and VSC systems will not 
function correctly if different tires 
are installed on the vehicle.
Contact your Toyota dealer for fur-
ther information when replacing 
tires or wheels.
■Handling of tires and the sus-
pension
Using tires with any kind of prob-
lem or modifying the suspension 
will affect the driving assist sys-
tems, and may cause a system to 
malfunction.
■Trailer Sway Control precau-
tion
The Trailer Sway Control system 
is not able to reduce trailer sway 
in all situations . Depending on 
many factors such as the condi-
tions of the vehicle, trailer, road 
surface and driving environment, 
the Trailer Sway Control system 
may not be effec tive. Refer to 
your trailer owner’s manual for 
information on how to tow your 
trailer properly.
■If trailer sway occurs
Observe the following precau-
tions.
Failing to do so may cause death 
or serious injury.
●Firmly grip the steering wheel. 
Steer straight ahead. Do not try 
to control trailer sway by turning 
the steering wheel.
●Begin releasing the accelerator 
pedal immediately but very 
gradually to reduce speed.
Do not increase speed. Do not 
apply vehicle brakes.
If you make no extreme correction 
with the steering  or brakes, your 
vehicle and traile r should stabi-
lize. ( P.181)
■Secondary Collision Brake
Do not rely solely upon the Sec-
ondary Collision Brake. This sys-
tem is designed to help reduce 
the possibility of  further damage 
due to a secondary collision, how-
ever, that effect changes accord-
ing to various conditions. Overly 
relying on the system may result 
in death or serious injury. 

3904-6. Driving tips
Owners Manual_USA_M0C031_en
overuse of the accelerator 
pedal. Doing so can help control 
excessive gasoline consump-
tion.
Control and maintain the vehicle 
at a constant speed. Before 
stopping at a toll booth or simi-
lar, allow plenty of time to 
release the accelerator and gen-
tly apply the brakes. A greater 
amount of electrical energy can 
be regenerated when slowing 
down.
Use the air conditioning only 
when necessary. Doing so can 
help reduce excessive gasoline 
consumption.
In summer: When the ambient 
temperature is high, use the 
recirculated air mode. Doing so 
will help to reduce the burden on 
the air conditioning system and 
reduce fuel consumption as 
well.
In winter: Because the gasoline 
engine will not automatically cut 
out until it and the interior of the 
vehicle are warm, it will con-
sume fuel. Also, fuel consump-
tion can be improved by 
avoiding overuse of the heater.Make sure to check the tire infla-
tion pressure frequently. 
Improper tire inflation pressure 
can cause poor fuel economy.
Also, as snow tires can cause 
large amounts of friction, their 
use on dry roads can lead to 
poor fuel economy. Use tires 
that are appropriate for the sea-
son.
Carrying heavy luggage will lead 
to poor fuel economy. Avoid car-
rying unnecessary luggage. 
Installing a large roof rack will 
also cause poor fuel economy.
Since the gasoline engine starts 
up and cuts out automatically 
when cold, warming up the 
engine is unnecessary. More-
over, frequently driving short 
distances will cause the engine 
to repeatedly warm up, which 
can lead to excess fuel con-
sumption.
